WB refuses to accept migrants from Maharashtra

The West Bengal government refused to accept migrants from Maharashtra on Tuesday, even as the state government was awaiting its consent to send 2,400 workers on two trains from Thane to Shalimar station in Howrah. Meanwhile, concerned about a backlash, the Uttar Pradesh government climbed down from its earlier reluctance to evacuate its migrants from Mumbai, Thane and Pune, said officials. The Bihar government has withdrawn its blanket approval for migrants from Maharashtra and said it will decide on a case-to-case basis.
